In a life so full of imperfections
It’s hard to see the wonders
Of a world in a rush to see the next light
We need to stop before it’s smothered

Have you ever watched a flower bloom
Or seen a vanilla twilight?
Or stopped to see the leaves turn gold
And a smile light someone’s eyes

Tell me have you ever counted the stars in the sky
Just to see if some were missing?
Or sat beside a riverbank to watch the water glistening

You’d better slow down
Don’t dance so fast
Live in the moment
Before it becomes your past

Pick up a penny and walk through the rain
Indulge in a culture you’ve never heard named
Take some risks and try something new
Because you never know what could complete you

Laugh freely and love a lot
Do something daring and never get caught
Believe in your family and lean on your friends
You needn’t be alone to make amends

Pay attention to the little things
Because they could become huge
Take this life slowly
And shoot for the moon.
